Two girls and two boys will have new bikes this Christmas, thanks the owners of Ideal Glass and Mirror.

Terry Swinson and his business partner Greg Brown wheeled in four new bikes to The Free Press office as toy drive donations on Tuesday, helping to load up a Christmas tree that continues to grow with unopened gifts for children.

Folks can continue to give to the toy drive at The Free Press office, 2103 N. Queen St., or at the Salvation Army across the street until Dec. 17.

As owners of Ideal Glass and Mirror on N.C. 55 West between Kinston and Moss Hill, Swinson and Brown want to encourage other companies to mirror their own contributions this holiday season.

“We’d thought it would be a good thing to help the needy out,” Swinson said. “This year, we want to challenge other businesses to do the same.”

Swinson has two children and four grandchildren, which gives him a soft spot for kids.

“There are a lot of kids who wake up on Christmas morning and don’t get anything and we try to make some of them happy,” he said.
